What are the prefix options in Product Attributes?

[bluedolphincrow]

Aanii all,

 

It's a beautiful and finally cool and breezy day here in mid-Ohio : - )

 

I finally have the template I bought for my new osCommerce store up and working...Whew that was hard...

 

Anyway, I am adding my products today and I am stumped on how the prefix works in the Product Attributes section of the admin.

 

Here is what I need to do:

 

I need my products to each have 4 different quantity price breaks:

 

for example: (I'm making the numbers up for the example)

 

Product 1 costs:

 

1-11 units are $42.00 each

12-23 units are $32.00 each

 

and so on.

 

Now I have noticed there is no Quantity button on the product page so I made a test product attribute for a quantity of 24 units at $19.98 let's say. Now when I went to my site it added the the 24 quantity together with the price. I need it to multiply it.

 

Also is there a way to have the customer choose which quantity they want in the example I gave. Say if they wanted 10 units. Do I have to make a separate product attribute for each quantity? Like this

 

1 unit is $9.00 each

2 units are $9.00 each

etc and then

12 uunits are $8.00 each

 

????? I'm not sure how to make this work and I've been messing with it for a long time now.

 

Also is there a how to manual for this community? or just the forum?

 

I did search in this forum and could not find the answer. Probably because I'm not sure about how to ask the question correctly.

 

I also went to the template help chat. They said the prefix options are + or -

 

I asked them what each of those prefixes mean...and I've been waiting a long time for someone to get back to me on the chat.

 

I welcome any help and tips,

Here is what I need to do: look at this http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1242

Also is there a how to manual for this community? or just the forum? read documentation.pdf in the osC download http://www.oscommerce.com/redirect.php/go,44

I also went to the template help chat. They said the prefix options are + or -

 

+ = add to the item price

- = remove this amount from the item price

I asked them what each of those prefixes mean...and I've been waiting a long time for someone to get back to me on the chat.

 

I welcome any help and tips,

Wow!! Thank you so much. I am working on the first item you sent me to. I'm up to the dutch file. And just discovered that I don't have a dutch language file.

 

There are several edits in that file so I'm thinking I need to upload a dutch language file.

 

So, I'm off to the contributions to pick that up.

 

I am so very thankful to you!! The site I am doing cannot run with out this type of pricing ability. And being new to osCommerce I did not realize that it was not built in. Actually for the price I paid for the template I thought it was completely up to date also, alas...not so. : (

 

However, the editing is very easy and I'm very excited to see this in action once I get it up and going.

 

Also many thanks for the docs. I will be crawling through them right away as well.

 

Have a Blessed Evening and Weekend,
